Well, it's done. My first ever disc golf tournament is in the books and I had a great time. I wanted to publicly thank all of those who spent countless hours getting this event together. Our hard work as a club looks like it has paid off!

Some impressions/scenes from the weekend:
- Maybe Arturo should comb the lakes for discs...probably a hundred of them in there.
- Hole 4, the hole I helped to sponser, was the deciding hole on all of the playoffs
- Locals...good showing. We're only going to get better with more experience. We've only had a half a year with a permanent course in the ground. We'll be at an advantage next year with an entire year behind us! (and perhaps another, more technical course in the ground?)
- Mr. Neal wanted to charge me 16 bucks for a disc, and asked to see my bag tag for proof of my club membership. LOL.
- Now I know, the leader in the group gets to bring the scorecards in after the round. But it is the responsibility of the entire group to make sure he actually does it.
- a 58 year old won the entire event. There is hope for me after all. If I ever learn how to drive forehand consistently...
- and putt...
- speaking of which, Brown helped teach me how to jump put a few weeks back, and it really helped out my game. I hit a 120 footer on hole 11, dead center, only to have the basket wobble and fall out.
- Speaking of which...perhaps all new standardized baskets next year?
- props to Patrick(s), Jeff(s), Big O, Matty, Crib, and all the rest of you locals who brought their A game. Nice to see so much local success!
-Ross, Brian, Reggie, Tom, and Rob. Thanks dudes.
-Special thanks again to ross hammond who watched both of my hole 16 shots go into the lake. Sweet dude. You now owe me a Star TL and a CE Orc.

I'd like to send a huge thank you out to everyone that helped organize this year's Safari. I met some great golfers, saw some old friends, and everyone that I played with rocked. I didn't come anywhere near placing in my division, but the trophy for fun went to me.

Great time indeed. Damn near needed Monday off as I'm totally wiped out. It was all well worth leaving my dignity somewhere in the lake on 16 saturday afternoon...if anyone sees a light blue Stafford Lakes Orc on the far side of the water please let me know. I swear that thing made it over.

Enjoyed putting faces with some of the names and meeting many of you for the first time.

I told you to go anhyzer but you wouldn't listen. You will learn, oh grasshopper

out and around the tree I threw it into? Scott Riley almost lost his disc (and potentially his round apparently) with that shot. I'm gonna have to go back there and check it out again...and fish my discs outta there. I'm thinking a big fishing net will do the trick. Jon Toby, do you have one of those? I could get out there this afternoon and we can set up a lost and found.

on another note...
When the neighbors of McClaren park show up with shotguns to a park and rec meeting regarding DG there, perhaps we can persuade the board to have us install the safari course permanently. 2 courses in GGP within easy walking distance of one another? Let's muse on that thought for a minute...

You definitely weren't alone- I shot a little bit of video yesterday out at the Safari course, and when I'm done editing it together, there will be a little hole 16 'montage of pain' at the beginning of the highlight reel :wink:

I'll go to my grave trying to figure out what happened to that Star Orc. I swear it cleared the water. If anyone finds the white Inferno I through in on the next shot, keep the damn thing. Can't manage to keep one around for more than a week at a time, I'll consider that last one a sacrifice to the disc gods.

Thank's to Ross for having a great event. We, as Coloradans, think the world of the folks out there. From Brian Lee and yourself to all the players I had the great fortune to play with. I didn't meet as many people as I would have liked to. Probably because I was too busy getting my a$$ chomped by the Safari course! None the less, I loved it and hope to make the trip every year!
Thanks again. John
